Pentagon cancels trump ego parade (he takes credit natch) because it would cost more than $12 million estimate. Think of that: He WANTED to spend $12 million for a parade. With Trump at center. A parade military didn’t want. This mans ego is incomperable.

So @realDonaldTrump has reportedly cancelled his parade. It's boggling he contemplated spending $92M for unnecessary display of military strength to assuage his ego. How could he find nearly $100m for a parade after proposing hundreds of billions in cuts to our most vulnerable.

Some reports have said that the administration was seeking tanks and armed vehicles for the procession, despite the defense department being prohibited to do so by the 2019 National Defense Authorization act, which Trump himself signed:

In providing support [for the parade], the secretary [of defense] may expend funds for the display of small arms and munitions appropriate for customary ceremonial honors and for the participation of military units that perform customary ceremonial duties. [The secretary] may not expend funds to provide motorized vehicles, aviation platforms [or] munitions other than the munitions specifically described [above].

While it looks like Trump will have to wait until 2019 for his military parade, his Twitter indicates that he’s already declared war on D.C. officials.
